Shigella flexneri Adherence Factor Expression in In Vivo-Like Conditions

Shigella flexneri Adherence Factor Expression in In Vivo-Like Conditions

Bacterial pathogens have evolved to regulate virulence gene expression at critical points in the colonization and infection processes to successfully cause disease. The Shigella species infect the epithelial cells lining the colon to result in millions of cases of diarrhea and a significant global h...
